Music from Europe: Carp (by Carp)

"Carp"
(2007, Square Dogs)

by Carp
from Paris, France

folk-jazz

selected by  

When Parisians decide to form a band, it's not always garage rock..... Formed by Benoit Guivarch (vocals/guitar) and Antoine Kerinon (drums), two-piece Carp have successfully managed to mix folk-jazz and atmospheric rock in a very simple and pure way. Carp's first album is a seemingly improbable meeting of Radiohead and Piers Faccini that speaks freely of former teenage fears - a cool, jazzy sound combined with bare folk-rock. Bewitching // Ondine Benetier (& Jo)
